I have that bench in my guest bedroom. It came from my husband's grandma's house. I don't remember exactly where she had it, but those old handmade benches come in handy. I am thinking that the Bellingham Farmhouse may need one. Your tutorial is perfect.

Your little bench is fantastic Caroline and it looks wonderful at the end of the bed...l love how you've explained each step with such clear instructions and pictures to match. Did you make all the little books underneath the bench as well....you're just so clever!

You're so thoughtful and generous to share your mini-making processes with us! I never would've thought it was a mix of black and brown paint to come up with that patina, brilliant idea! Everything you do amazes and inspires me!
